About Short tons per day
The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.
About Metric tons per hour
The metric tonne per hour (t/h) equals 1 000/3600 ≈ 0.27778 kg/s, the dominant capacity unit in European and international process engineering. Equipment datasheets for conveyor belts, crushers, mills, dryers, compactors, and cyclone separators specify throughput in t/h. A 500 MW coal plant consumes ≈70-90 t/h of pulverised coal; a large rotary cement kiln produces ≈200-300 t/h of clinker. 1 t/h = 1 000/3600 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/h.
